Longford Sale

Sale and Longford (Vic.) are nearby Victorian areas with very different layouts. Sale is a very walkable hub where 32.8% of households rent and 33.4% of people live alone. In contrast, Longford (Vic.) is car-dependent, with no one living within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. Longford (Vic.) has a wealthier profile, with 25.5% of households earning $3,000 or more a week and a much higher share of large homes, as 92.9% have three or more bedrooms.

Both areas sit around the national figure for the proportion of children under 15. They also share similar rates of full-time employment and typical weekly rents. While the two areas are close in these respects, the gap in their accessibility has remained wide, with Sale offering far more public transport options and walkable amenities than Longford (Vic.).
